NAME

     er_rm - remove Forte(TM) Developer performance experiments.

SYNOPSIS

     er_rm [-f] experiment-list

     er_rm -V

DESCRIPTION

     er_rm removes one or more experiments or  experiment  groups
     specified  by  experiment-list. To remove an experiment, you
     need write permission in the directory  which  contains  the
     experiment.   You  do not need to have read or write permis-
     sion on the experiment itself.  When an experiment group  is
     specified,  er_rm removes the group file and all the experi-
     ments in the group. er_rm removes experiments recorded  with
     earlier versions of the tools.

     CAUTION - Do not use the Unix rm command to remove an exper-
     iment  recorded  with  earlier  versions because it does not
     remove all parts of the experiment. ALWAYS  use  er_rm.  For
     experiments  recorded  with  this  version of the tools, the
     Unix command rm -r can be used, since the directory contain-
     ing all experiment files is visible.

OPTIONS

     -f    Suppresses any error  message,  and  always  succeeds,
           whether  the  experiments  to  be removed are found or
           not.

     -V    Reports the version of er_rm.

DIAGNOSTICS

     er_rm:              experiment: No such experiment.
